## Resource

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is facing major issues just weeks after a $14.7 million renovation—peeling paint and a green algae bloom sparked outrage, with President Trump blaming vandals and claiming 75% of the algae is gone. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro vowed tough prosecution for any tampering, warning even minor offenses will be taken seriously, while the National Park Service scrambles to clean the water with hydrogen peroxide. The nation’s capital is on high alert as authorities prioritize accountability to protect this iconic landmark. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
